Starring in the movie "Great Dad", confessing that the Chinese father is more delicate than his mother; he thinks he is a person who is not confident enough
Wang Yanhui people cannot live in a false name
Sitting in front of the reporter, Wang Yanhui suddenly said, "I don't want to act anymore," and everyone around him was taken aback.
A few seconds before he said this, the reporter just read him a comment on social media, "An actor like Wang Yanhui, there are still too few plays." The response to this sentence does not seem to be without warning. , Because he has a deeper understanding of acting.
"I'm not saying that I don't want to act, I don't like acting, but now I need to find a kind of precipitation, to show good works to the audience, the works should be good and refined!"
Frankly speaking, even Wang Yanhui himself doesn't know how to describe the current state.
Xiao Daming, the father of the movie "The Great Dad," seems to be the protagonist of the movie for the first time.
In fact, he is more worried than anyone that he is not good at playing a certain role: "Recently, I want to play a role with a little pyrotechnics." He shrugged, "Anyway, I will go as I please, and I will not be influenced by other things , And it’s no longer in a state where it can be coerced by something."
A Chinese father, there is also the shadow of my father
Once he was the villain's benchmark for movie fans who love and hate. Now, in the movie "The Great Dad", he is uncharacteristically, starring in a father who is selfless and dedicated to his children.
Everything about Wang Yanhui's changes must start when he became a father.
After having a child, he said that he became soft.
This change of mentality has a subtle impact on both his daily life and the interpretation of the role.
In the past few years, he has played almost all kinds of fathers in the show business: in the movie "The Unknown", he used the role of Gao Ming as his father who was heavily indebted but refused to run, and left a deep impression on the audience. ; In 2020, he and Zhang Yu will play the fate entanglement between father and son in the movie "The Peace and the Sea"; in the same year, in the literary drama "I Am the Guardian", he interprets the father image of a wandering girl in a foreign land, and the movie " Zhang Zifeng’s father in "My Motherland and Me", the district chief’s father Ji Shengli in the TV series "Little Huanxi", and the upcoming TV series "Dear Parents"... these roles make him a typical "Chinese father" ".
"I really like it. At this stage, I especially want to play the role of pyrotechnics, ordinary people, and lifestyle. As for how to make the performance burst and rush to the gods, I don't think about it anymore."
Xiao Daming in "The Great Dad" is such an existence. He has the selfless dedication of a traditional Chinese father, and he is also "clumsy" who is unable to express emotions to his children.
"Xiao Daming is what I think my father should look like. On the surface, he has thick lines, but his heart is more delicate than his mother." Wang Yanhui said. When performing, he will incorporate the feeling of being a father into it: "I will also think of my old man. Dad. Only after becoming a father did I know how much my dad loves me. I was very impressed. He was in college. Sometimes when I went shopping and grocery shopping with my father, he would still hold my hand. I didn’t have much at that time. Feeling. Now my son is 14 years old and he is quite tall. I want to pull him wherever I go. This is probably a kind of unspeakable love and care."
The "good old guys" of the B Theater have become professional bad guys
Wang Yanhui has a "steady" face, round eyes, and kindness.
But once it becomes a villain, it becomes evil and sharp again.
In the words of the audience, this face with his acting skills is "good enough to make people blind."
Just as the public gave him a "badass professional" label, Wang Yanhui always felt baffled.
In the movie "The Scorching Sun", a character who has no name and only appeared in just three minutes has become one of the biggest highlights of the whole movie.
This time by chance, it was only because director Cao Baoping hired the actor who played the murderer to be temporarily absent. Wang Yanhui was dragged to the crew to prepare for an afternoon. The guest appearance of a few frames became a classic.
In the past, he could not have imagined that playing a murderer in a movie would be suspected by the audience as being recorded by a real person and asked the police to "complete investigation".
After that, "Wang Yanhui confessed," "Zhou Xingchi smiled bitterly," and "Hou Yong confessed" were selected together as acting teaching templates.
Regarding this, he sighed, it turned out that his energy can be so great, "I never think I can act as a bad guy. Since I can act so well, there must be more room for development." He muttered, "Really. , My character and image, I used to play good people in the repertory troupe, how could I become a'bad guy professional'. At that time, I secretly made up my mind that even if I play a good person, I might have a better performance in the future."
But for many years afterwards, Wang Yanhui seemed to be still at the stage of being "knowledged".
He agrees that he is still in the advanced stage of acting, completing the gorgeous turn from the villain to the loving father: "Now I am a professional father, and one day he may become a professional driver. Now I really want to play those people in the vast crowd. "
I was asked how he would adjust if he was asked to play the villain again, "Now, I try to explore the versatility of the character. No matter good or bad, there are many aspects. Don’t just define the personality of others casually. In fact, many classic villains have them. Motivation, so I will try to make it fuller and more multi-faceted when preparing the role. If the villain’s inner true thoughts and his soft side are shaped, it will be more charming, lively, and empathetic." Wang Yanhui said.
C Outside the performance, I am a young actor and common people in Kunming
Perhaps no one would have imagined that when Wang Yanhui heard that he was going to cooperate with a certain star when he first took the play, he would be so excited.
He regarded himself as a young actor from Kunming, and it would be nice to have a play.
When I was young, I was uncomfortable with a more relaxed and stable life. "In 1994, I went to the Beijing Film Academy to go to school. I was very worried, young, and unconvinced. But when my dad asked me if I thought about it? I told him firmly, you Let me go out and have a look at how many catties I am. If I give up without trying to compete in the ring, I will regret it. If I go out and be eliminated, I will go home and live honestly."
"Want to go out and have a look" brought Wang Yanhui an unprecedented sense of fear. He now remembers the panic when he took the three-day and three-night train from Kunming to Beijing, "Beijing is too mysterious and complicated. I must come. See what's going on. It's an impulse. However, if you stay here for a long time, you will be irritable. If you have a role, you will'be drifting north,' and if you don't, you will go back to Yunnan and find my fireworks.
Except for his works, the public has almost no access to him, no variety shows, no hype, no nostalgia for exposure.
"My point of view is that you are an actor when you are acting, and you are usually the common people. I will be true to the shooting scene, but this truth is principled. Including when working with director Cao Baoping, he will also say, "You guys" at the scene. It depends on how you play.’ Sometimes, after listening to it, he will say, “I think Yanhui’s idea is good, let’s create one based on this.” In Wang Yanhui’s view, actors are the most basic and simple part of the performance process: "Don't take yourself too high. It's not good to be alone in a movie. You can't win the World Cup with just one football player. You have to rely on the whole team to work hard. If you create a little purer, you will be very happy."
dialogue
Xiao Daming and I are a little worse
The Beijing News: Do you want to be a dad like Xiao Daming in "The Great Dad"?
Wang Yanhui: (Me and him) are similar.
But I feel that I have not done enough. I am a little worse than him, but I will continue to work hard.
Beijing News: You once said that you want to play a father after you have a child. Nowadays, all kinds of fathers have played it. Will you get bored?
Wang Yanhui: No, and for many moments in the performance, I miss my father very much. I can recall the kind of love he had for me, the kind of deepness between men. He and I don't know how to express to each other.
Maybe young people nowadays don’t know and feel that it doesn’t matter, but once this relationship is lost, you will know its importance. Only when you don’t, you will know what your father is. He may not be as nagging as his mother, but he I care about you bit by bit in my heart, no matter how old you are, he will hold your hand, just like I have a son, I don't think he dare to let go completely no matter how old you are.
The Beijing News: What do you think of the young actors now?
Wang Yanhui: For example, Zhang Youhao (played by Xiao Erdong in the movie "The Great Dad"), he has great potential. With time, not only in acting, but also in life experience, he will make achievements.
But now there are some young actors, I can't understand them either.
Regarding performance, you can say that you don't know. There are no people who are exquisite and slick, you can hesitate and squat, but don't think that you know how to do it with a little achievement, and you will be invincible in the world.
In this era, I really want to be grateful for movies, and act sincerely with a humble attitude, because now you have the opportunity to work hard and you can create classic characters.
I am an unconfident person
Beijing News: Will you watch your own work?
Wang Yanhui: I will (see), and I won't.
Because watching (own work) is still nervous.
But now slowly I am more confident than the original one. After the performance, I have a bottom line. The hard work will definitely produce results, and the feedback from everyone will not be too bad.
Beijing News: Are you not a very confident person?
Wang Yanhui: It can be said that I am a very unconfident person.
Even now, sometimes I will be timid.
As I said to Zhou Xun before, when a character is placed in front of me, he is really walking on thin ice, for fear of not acting well.
It's not that it's stressful, it's that it's nervous about your performance.
But I think being unconfident is a good thing for an actor, because you always feel that you are still not good enough and not good enough. You will work harder in all aspects and be more able to spur yourself.
Beijing News: Are you going smoothly this way?
Wang Yanhui: Well, it's going well.
There are still many good actors in China, some of whom are very capable but can't make the film, and some of them are just short of chance.
So I am already very fortunate, very blessed, and I must always be grateful.
The Beijing News: Does the killing make you feel terrified?
Wang Yanhui: After I heard it, I felt like "What am I?"
You might get drunk for a minute, or think about it for a minute, and then put it aside, you should buy groceries and groceries, and you should repair your car.
That is just the reputation of others, and people cannot live in these false names.
Creation is a search
Beijing News: What are your basic rules of acting?
Wang Yanhui: Believe in this character, every behavior, every action, you must believe that this character must do.
The creative process is a search once, just like the seed of a tree, you have to find this seed, and then slowly let it take root, germinate, and flourish.
Now I just need to rest, relax, and draw more nutrients from life.
Beijing News: Is there any moment in acting that makes you feel tired?
Wang Yanhui: I'm still tired, just like Xiao Daming. He is a highly stressed and concentrated character with both physical and mental power. Until now, many people have asked me if I have a role I want to play, and I said no.
Sometimes you just have it when you encounter it. If you don't, you can take good care of your life and settle yourself.
Beijing News: So you think that if an actor wants to perform well, he must be immersed in life, to accumulate and find material?
Wang Yanhui: Of course, all walks of life and all fields must pay attention to and contact.
Most of the characters are derived from ordinary people. You need to have smoke and fire, and you have to smell it. Then you know that the dish is not fragrant, and then you can figure out how to make it.
Why do you want so much wealth?
Beijing News: Why not participate in variety shows?
Wang Yanhui: Not very good.
I have analyzed that to enter a variety show is really to amuse the audience and adjust the atmosphere. That is a skill.
Every profession has strengths of every profession. If you ask me to do those, what should I do if I can’t do it well?
For example, let me go for an interview, and I don't know what to ask others when I pick up the microphone.
Beijing News: Is it acceptable to perform propositional composition on the show?
Wang Yanhui: Actors should respect the performance. If for the sake of hype, the show makes me cry as soon as I show up, then why?
Performance is a sacred thing. When the master is acting, there can be no sound at all on the scene, because he is afraid of affecting the emotions of the actors.
For actors like Daniel Day Lewis, many scenes need to be psychologically constructed and need to protect the pureness of the actors’ hearts.
Actors need to be in awe of their career, not use it to prove anything.
Beijing News: But it’s easy to get popular searches on variety shows, and it’s easy to get exposed when doing live broadcasts.
Wang Yanhui: An actor, why do you always care about hot searches?
Maybe people need to plan something for themselves. For example, if they have more exposure and traffic, there will be big and famous directors who come to me for filming.
If the director only finds actors by exposing these imaginary things, then the director's level is not very high.
Actors should return to the performance itself, always thinking about endorsements and live broadcasts, why do you need so much wealth?
Enough is enough.
